Carbon Dating

Ever since that whole asteroid business last week, the dating pool has been really strained for the dinosaurs. As a savvy entrepreneur, you see this as an opportunity! Your new matchmaking start-up promises to give the surviving dinosaurs one last chance at love.

In Carbon Dating, you'll spend a number of rounds seating dinosaurs at a large table. Dinosaurs will talk with their neighbours, and based on their compatibility might have a good or bad date. Dinosaurs who have a good date will leave satisfied, giving good reviews of your business! Bad dates will have an effect specific to the dinosaur: many dinosaurs will get annoyed by a bad date and leave the table, but others might stampede or even eat their fellow dinosaurs! Managing the chaos caused by bad dates is the key to maintaining the reputation of your business - you might be able to take advantage of these effects to set up better dates, and if it comes down to it, eaten dinosaurs can't give bad reviews...

An 18 card puzzle game made for the Button Shy 18 card dinosaurs but... challenge September 2022.
